Welcome! Our site is a repository for images, sounds, reminiscing, and news for those who have worked at WUVT-AM and FM, the student-run radio stations at Virginia Tech since 1948!




Thanks to William Glynn and the current Woovit staff, we received lots of scans from the WUVT archives during the 60th Anniversary Weekend. We'll be featuring one every week in this space. Most of the clippings you'll see are from the student newspaper The Virginia Tech (now the Collegiate Times).
